We are a large public coeducational multicultural New Zealand secondary school located in Waitakere City in the heart of West Auckland.
Our motto is ‘Achievement for All!'
We believe that every student can and should achieve to the very best of their abilities.
This can only occur if every student feels cared for, is treated with respect and knows that their individual learning needs have been recognised. Learning, caring and respect are the three core values of the Waitakere Way.
We aim to make learning challenging and exciting for all our students, so that they will become thinkers, contributors and participants in the local, national and global community.
Our teachers have accepted this challenge and we seek out staff who are committed and passionate about these goals.
We aim to be an innovative school, constantly evaluating what we are doing and seeking to improve the ways in which students can learn.
Recent innovations include:
· Shine – our enrichment for excellence programme
· Thinking Week to highlight the importance of thinking skills
· Weekly report cards for Year 9 –10 students
· NCEA Achiever’ assemblies.
